QUESTION: What is intervention studies in experimental research
ABSTRACT
Experimental research is a method used by researchers through manipulating one variable and control the
rest of the variables. The process, treatment and program in this type of research are also introduced and
the conclusion is observed.

INTRODUCTION

Experimental studies (intervention studies) are often employed to test the effectiveness of
teaching innovations such as new pedagogy, curriculum, or learning resources. This article offers
guidance on good practice in developing research designs, and in drawing conclusions from
published reports. Random control trials potentially support the use of statistical inference, but
face a number of potential threats to validity.

Reasons for concern about the quality of quantitative, experimental research in education are
reviewed. These include internal and external validity errors, questionable design and analyses
practices, and incomplete or misleading discussions of findings. More positively, the concerns
can be addressed by individual investigators, and the larger profession could improve the quality
of educational intervention research through shifts in publication practices.

This article summarizes a comprehensive synthesis of experimental intervention studies that

have included students with learning disabilities. Effect sizes for 180 intervention studies were
analyzed across instructional domains, sample characteristics, intervention parameters,
methodological procedures, and article characteristics.
